Actually, given the proper permissions, you can edit contacts on an LDAP server. There are already too many fields in the Evolution addressbook, I think anyway. The IM client or whatever, should be the one editing the IM or other random fields in the vcards. > If a LDAP server is the best choice, how will single users benefit these > contacting options?

( > gnomemeeting, instant messaging... ) An LDAP server isn't the best choice. What if you store your contacts on Yahoo!, or in Exchange? GroupWise? Technically you should be able to gain access to these by using the interfaces provided by evolution in the wombat and addressbook APIs. -- dobey
